New car shops Needed.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. &c. V. Lew
is, assistant general freight agent of
the Missouri Pacific, said to Journal
reporter yesterday that it had become
absolutely necessary for the road to
have new car and machine shops.
They have 1900 miles of road west of
Kansas City and new shops were badly
needed. They will need one hundred
acres of land, and as they will not pay
fancy price they are more likely to
look for location along the line in
Kansas than in this city.

immigration between 1920 and 1879
was 9,90S,000. Of this Ireland con-
tributed 3,O65,761 and Germany
3,OO2,O27. In 1901, the population

THE CENT FORCING IT'S WAY
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The cent which could not be
forced suddenly on the community,
is growing into favor. A large num-
Der of houses are now willing to ac-
cept it and make their change ac.
cordingly, and the public is begin
ming to recognize that the cent is of
some value after all. Strange to say,
as at the beginning of this move
ment, the small dealers still hold
back. Coppers will be taken In pay
ment by almost any large dry goods
house in the city, but the candy or
banana peddler on the corner oppo-
site ignores this movement, and is
afraid of the copper currency. There
need be no fear, however, that the
cent will not succeed. 1t has, in
deed, already succeeded The new
coin has been introduced. II is no
longer a novelty or a surprise.
Those who thought they could sud-
denly spring it upon the community
did not recognize the conservative
nature of the people; did not appre-
ciate the fact that even so small rev.
olutions as this can only be accom-
plished with time and patience.

HINTS TO HoUsEKEEPERs.

Essence of quassia will drive away
flies, and cucumber peel is detested
by cockroaches.
To cure a wart, scrape a carrot
fine, mix with salt, and apply as
poultlce five or six nights.
When putting q new wick into the
lamp, first soak it in vinegar and let
il dry. 1t will last longer and burn
better for so doing.
Cold biscuits left over from tea
may be made better than when first
baked by dipping them into hot wa
ter and placing them singly on the.
hot CRATE in the oven long enough
to let them get well warmed thro.
A butter stamp should always be
washed in cold salt water before it
is used. If soaked in hot water,the
butter will stick to it, but never If
soaked in cold brine. The salt all
sorbed by the wood keeps it moist
while in use.
The best way Of checking the
bleeding from the nose is to apply
cold water to the. neck and face.
Hold sponge saturated with cold
water to the nostrils, or if this should
not succeed, dissolve a little alum in
basin of water, and inject or sniff
this up the nostrils. Hold the head
back and do not attempt TO blow the
nose.
To save stair carpets nail several
thicknesses of old carpet or canvas
over the edge of each stair. 1t is n
good plan to buy more carpeting
than is need to cover the stairs, and
move it each season, so that the
whole will wear evenly. If stair car
pets cannot be changed in this way
they will not wear nearly so long.
Wash fiannels in hot suds, and to
prevent shrinking they must be rim
sed in water as hot as they were
rubbed in. 1t is the sudden change
from hot to cold water that causes
the shrinkage. If the rinsing water
be not hot enough, let the clothes
stand few minutes and cool TO the
right temperature. A handful of
borax in the water will tend to soft
ell them.
